Geek Homeworld Episode 12 Creative Force

This episode is
about the creative process. Whether you are a podcaster, artist,
film maker, game designer, or whatever medium you are creating in,
does monetizing cheapen the true value and intention of the art you
create? This discussion is partly inspired by a recent interview
with George Lucas in which he talks about studio's versus artist
interpretations of what the writers create. Are movie studios
dictating content without letting the artists realize their own
true vision of the art they create? George also discussed how his
vision of Star Wars is different from Disney's vision. From that
interview I draw comparisons on this episode about my thoughts on
the creative process. I also, recount my preparations from Star
Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace, in which my expectations were
too high to be realized by the movie, and my initial disappointment
when I first saw the movie. I share my "Phantom Menace Syndrome",
as I call it, and hop against all hope that The Force Awakens will
not be the same.
